The Wedding

Steven and Melissa's wedding was held at Sardis Lutheran Church on January 21st, 2006.  Pastor Harvey Blume, Pastor Howard, and Father Bill Bueche led the ceremony.  We would like to thank all of our family and friends that came to the wedding and have supported us through undergraduate school, vet school and with tough times.  We would especially like to thank all of our Ross University friends and Melissa's family members for taking time to travel a long way to be with us on this special day.  Also a special thanks to everyone that helped with putting on the wedding, thank you all.  Now enjoy the pictures.
